Discover Skintopia’s new IV wellness offering with Dosed Anywhere

Beauty and wellness are no longer considered in isolation. As our understanding of beauty continues to expand, the conversation is moving beyond what we put on our skin to the wider rituals and experiences that shape our approach to wellbeing. It's a shift reflected in Skintopia's latest offering: nurse-led IV wellness appointments, introduced in partnership with Dosed Anywhere at its Auckland and Wellington studios.

The infusions contain fluids, vitamins and antioxidants, administered directly into the bloodstream. Founded by registered nurse Olivia Taylor, Dosed Anywhere brings its service into Skintopia's skin and aesthetics clinics, adding another dimension to the brand's existing offering.

Appointments begin with an online health assessment and consent process, followed by an individual consultation to discuss the available infusions and establish suitability. Blood pressure is checked before, during and after the appointment, with the infusion itself taking approximately 40 minutes.

And then, there is the rather appealing prospect of having nowhere else to be for a little while. The lighting is softened, music plays in the background and a blanket is on hand should you wish to settle in and switch off. There is equally the option to open a laptop and catch up on a few things, should doing absolutely nothing not come naturally.

Remix founder Tim Phin recently tried an appointment, finding the setting a welcome change of pace. “You sit listening to music, and you can relax on your laptop or you can just close your eyes. There's a little blanket, lights dimmed down,” he says. 

“It's a very chilled clinic. There's no sense of being rushed in and out; you can make the time your own.”

Taylor also takes time to talk clients through the process and explain what's involved, something Tim appreciated. “It's nice to have someone take the time to explain everything. You can ask questions, understand what's involved and then settle in.”

There is a selection of different infusions to choose from, with the option to add a Skintopia LED appointment, too. 

For those whose beauty appointments have traditionally centred on skincare, it's an invitation to explore a different side of the experience—with a little time to yourself built in.
